All Aurochs, \\()lt'()r(;i;in( Rahl.il, 

 He'd poiso his clkhoni s|)(>:ir and jal) it ! 

 His lifo was l'r(>(> from cai'o. 



B(^l was an lnt(Mij;la('ial Maid. 



The queen of all that her eves survcwed: 



Her birthday suit was tan; 

 Her hair was long and somewhat frizzly; 

 If once she glared at the maddest Grizzly, 



He turned him round and ran. 



Hut oft when in her cave alone 



She sketched with flint on Walrus l)one 



A Neolithic plan 

 Of antlered Stags and wild-maned Horses, 

 She thought how vain were the heedless courses 



Of Kang. the bachelor man. 



"He hunts for himself alone," said she; 

 "An egoist to the nth degree, 



"He wields the spear and bow; 

 "The voice of duty bids : ' Reclaim him ! ' 

 "And conscience urges me to tame him; 



"Besides, he needs me so!" 



Then faring forth at the sun's first ])link, 

 She made her way to the ferny brink 



Of the forest river's flow; 

 And laid a snare of rawhide nooses 

 (Devised for feministic uses) 



Where Kang was wont to go. 



And Kang came fast; — with a wounded brute 

 Of an Aurochs Bull in mad pursuit, 



He bounded up the comb, 

 When Bel drew bow, upon a boulder, 

 And shot that Bull behind the shoulder: 



He perished, snorting foam.
